SLIPFENCE Horizontal installation video

A simple 4 minute instructional video showing how the SLIPFENCE Horizontal Fencing system is installed.

[@edzanjero353]

I'd have ordered this system already, buy the cost of lumber is unbelievable. My God. Very thorough presentation. Note: it occurred to me there's no "neighbor friendly" issues involved...both sides are identical. Setting posts for me is something I've never done...gotta get it right.

[@JPEBeard]

How much does one section cost?

[@msk3905]

I wanted this fence until I saw price, @ $85 for posts, $105 for rails boards fit in, $60 for cap so you are at $250 then add wood $154 for PT deck boards (only seeing 16’ option at HD) if you buy longer and cut for a 6’ wide install. I am looking at 8’ long cedar pre-made panels for $130 each maybe if I didn’t so many panels I would consider.

[@mark2talk2u]

Lumber is expensive no matter what type of fence you build … unless you go with a chain link fence.

Can you do a horizontal fence style, in this video with plastic-wood composite boards?

[@robertpowell7927]

omg i love fences and now I get to offer my clients a slipfence system :D $$$$ noticed you have solutions for not just 90 degree turns

[@JamesMontana]

Looks like a lovely looking, easy fence system, but what gauge aluminium are the fence posts ? Id be concerned they might bend with the weight of the timber or easily bend during windy conditions 🤔

[@slipfence2777]

the fence is engineered to flex so that the posts don't snap in high winds. The posts have been tested and passed the requirement of the Miami Dade County to withstand "hurricane like wind", of up to 115mph in 3 sec gusts.

Does Slipfence have a 4 foot "modern ranch rail" fence kit? I'm looking for metal fence posts that will accommodate 2x6 horizontal boards and allow me to only have 3 spaced horizontal boards with black chain link rather than a privacy fence.

[@friskycinnamon3419]

Is this fence approved for use in Florida? Posts are required to be 4 feet apart.

[@slipfence2777]

You can place the posts 4 feet apart if regional by-law requires yes. Just cut the posts with a non-ferrous blade on your circular saw.

[@pinkflamingo3979]

Where did you ever get such a crazy idea? Have you never seen a fence, or fence panels?

[@briankneebone9543]

I love the horizontal look but don’t want the gaps between boards. Any full privacy options like expansion strips or foam as ideas? Or anyone use something other than wood as the infill?

[@juventusventuno9213]

I dont see gaps between the horizontal boards

[@limestone_cowboy]

Some kits use tongue and groove boards, so there is Zero gap. Some people want a gap, so they use extra spacers in the side channel

Can you buy the metal slides at Lowe’s

[@c-qc-q2021]

Normally one screws or nails bracing to a wood 4x4 post to ensure it's plumb until the concrete anchor dries. The video doesn't do that... why? Or how does one secure temporary bracing?

[@Tony-hv4hd]

where can I buy this type of fence

[@user-ls3el9sh7v]

Called a company about a slipfence installation and was told they don't work with slipfence anymore do to the system not being able to support the weight of the wood. Can anyone verify/ elaborate on that? Thank you

[@slipfence2777]

That statement is 100% Hogwash! The system was designed and engineered to accommodate not only the weight of wood but also the heavy weight of composite deck boards as well for the Horizontal system. No doubt the "installer" then went on to tell you how an all wood fence is better because that is what he is used to building right? But I bet he forgot to tell you that the wood fence posts will absolutely warp, lean, twist, rot at grade level and eventually fall over? This SLIPFENCE system is about 30% higher in cost because of the Aluminum posts, rails and caps and Stainless steel nuts, bolts and screws but this fence is only to be set up once, and in 12-15 years if the wood is looking grey and tired, you simply unscrews and slip the old boards out and slip new ones in for a brand new fence. you never need to set fence posts again.

[@Ninjaa320]

I've never heard about Slipfence before, and don't care about the company at all. But, the idea that an aluminum post can't support the weight of the wood on it is ridiculous. It doesn't need to be some sort of "special" aluminum post, any aluminum post can support the weight of the wood and a lot more in a fencing application. If I were to assume good intent on the part of the installer, my best guess would be that he mistakenly thinks Slipfence is some kind of vinyl posting system.

Replacing a rotted board would be a pain in the A$$. Otherwise, I love this Fort Knox style fencing.

[@slipfence2777]

If you have ever replaced a rotted board on a regular wood fence where the installers brad nail or staple the boards in, this system is a walk in the park to replace a board. Slip the old one out and slip a new one in....what could be simpler?

[@burritoinabowl2736]

@@slipfence2777 you can easily kick out a rotted board that has been nailed or stapled to a regular fence. Then place a new picket directly in place of the old board. Or you can take a hammer and peel the old picket off easily as well. With this system you have to remove all the boards on top of the rotted board just to get to it. And in order to do this you have to unscrew all the boards on top of the rotted board, slide a new board in, and screw all of the boards back in. It’s definitely going to take 10x the amount of time.

[@kerrybutler6404]

The bottom board is the only board that's going to rot within a couple of years, use a reciprocating saw to cut out the bottom board then unscrew the next board above. Should be able to get both boards back in then screw in to the post.

[@cjvx7208]

Or you could slipping wire boards and don't screw them in?

[@prophetseven728]

Both seems easy to replace. If you have to keep replacing them. Then you are not taken care of your fence in the first place.

This requires a yard that is flat with zero slopes. Not to mention buying a crap load of pressure treated wood.

[@mrmisterman999]

Yep and let's remind the folks at home how fucking heavy pressure treated wood is

[@slipfence2777]

The Horizontal Fence can step with the slope of property and fill in the bottom portion under the fence with the earth that was dug out while digging post holes. If the gap is still too large to fill with excess earth then simply create a custom bottom board buy fastening 2 together and then trim the bottom to follow the grade or....you can shorten up the spans of the panels if it is a major slope. OR, you can cut the horizontal boards on an angle and slope the panel. This is a bit tricky but can absolutely be done.

[@Luckingsworth]

And a regular fence does not require buying pressure treated wood? Lol. Idiot.

@@Luckingsworth chain link fence. Vinyl fence. Metal fencing, with all types of variations. Point being, not all fences are made with pressure treated wood. I admit I didn’t watch the whole video.

[@fenceman53]

Those boards are going to warp in and out

[@slipfence2777]

Hello James, the reason we designed the fence in 6 foot long sections is to eliminate the warping and weaving of the boards in and out. An 8 foot long section could have this issue but we have found that in 6 foot sections less 1% may require swapping out after the three week drying period.

This kind of fence looked very interesting, but there are just too many reviewers criticizing material quality and durability. Oh well, it was a good o Idea. Perhaps, the profit margin is too high.

[@slipfence2777]

Please have a look at the reviews on the Home Depot or Lowes site. Those reviews are from customers whom have actually installed the product or had it installed by a contractor. Although some of the comments and inquiries here are legitimate, there are numerous comments and inquiries here simply to fill the days.

[@brendasiron6350]

Having wood touching the ground is a problem, you should put a bottom medal rail on like the top.

[@slipfence2777]

Hi Brenda, the wood does not touch the ground if the instructions are followed correctly. The bottom board should be 1"-1.5" off the ground. The Slipfence system was specifically designed not to have a bottom rail so the bottom board does not hold moisture resulting in mould then rotting. The fence once it gets wet in the rain always dries from the top down like hanging laundry, and the bottom board needs to empty out all of the moisture from the panel. The top cap rail fits on the bottom as well if customers like that look but it is not recommended for the reason stated here. Thank you for your interest in SLIPFENCE.

[@susanhare9408]

I was thinking of using Trex for the first board to avoid the rot issue. I'm too lazy to maintain 1 inch of clearance in my leafy yard. Has anyone tried a Trex-wood combo?
